Laparoscopy in the Diagnosis of Non-Palpable Testes

In pediatric urology, cryptorchidism is frequent condition and nearly 20 % of the undescended testes are non-polpable and are localized within in the distal end of the inguinal ring or intraabdominally. Laparoscopy has been a very useful diagnostic tool in these patients who have always been challenging to manage.

In this study, we retrospctively evaluated our initial experiences of diagnostic laparoscopy in the dignosis of non-palpable testes.
